Mamelodi Sundowns Form - Very Strong on Home Turf

Sundowns sit top of the PSL table having played two more matches than Pirates. They’re very strong at home with seven wins in the last nine fixtures in Tshwane.

A 1-1 home draw vs Orlando Pirates was followed by a 1-0 win over TS Galaxy with 18 shots. In CAF action, they Saint Eloi Lupopo 3-1 and draw 0-0 away at MC Alger with no shots on target.

Their final match before the AFCON break saw a 1-1 draw at Siwelele. They resumed the season with a straightforward 2-0 win over Orbit College on Monday night.

Sudanese giants Al-Hilal Omdurman play in the Rwandan Premier League due to unrest in their country. They sit top of the table with 11 wins in 15 matches.

They have four points from two CAF Champions League matches so far. A 2-1 home win over MC Alger preceded a 1-1 draw at St Eloi Lupopo in November.

They’ve since played 14 league matches during the AFCON with 11 wins. A 4-0 win over Rayon Sport last Saturday made it eight straight victories.
